/OBJECT

  The /OBJECT qualifier causes the compiler to produce an object module, and
  optionally specifies its file name.

  The format of the /OBJECT qualifier is as follows:

     /[NO]OBJECT[=file-spec]

  By default, the compiler generates object files as follows:

   o  If you specify one source file,  the  compiler  generates  one  object
      file.
   o  If you specify multiple source files  separated  by  plus  signs,  the
      compiler appends the files and generates one object file.
   o  If you specify multiple source files separated by commas, the compiler
      compiles and generates a separate object file for each source file.
   o  You can use both plus signs and commas in the  same  command  line  to
      produce different combinations of appended and separated object files.

  To produce an object file with an explicit file  specification,  you  must
  use  the /OBJECT qualifier, in the form /OBJECT=file-spec.  Otherwise, the
  object file has the same name as its corresponding source file, and a file
  type  of  .OBJ.   All  other  file  specification attributes depend on the
  placement of the qualifier in the command.

  The /NOOBJECT qualifier suppresses the creation of an object file.  During
  the  early  stages  of  program  development,  you  may find it helpful to
  suppress the production of object files until your source program compiles
  without errors.

  The default is /OBJECT.
